🔸National Mills Weekend🔸 - This coming weekend at the Quendale Water Mill when Zetland Amateur Radio Club will be contacting fellow enthusiasts at other mills around the world

National Mills Weekend runs every year in May. It has been organised by the SPAB Mills Section since 1984, and is part of a Europe-wide festival of milling heritage during May.
The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) was founded by William Morris in 1877 to care for and preserve the UK’s architectural heritage. The Mills Section of the SPAB was founded in 1931 to protect and promote windmills and watermills.
